WHERE IT ALL STARTED
I didn’t know it at the time, but my journey began when I was 17 and finally agreed to go to therapy.
My mum had recently died, and my life had taken me into some very difficult places.
I can categorically say that therapy saved my life, because it showed me that another life was possible. A whole other way of thinking, feeling and being.
When you experience that kind of transformation, you can’t help but want to share it.
Six years later I began training as a counsellor. Nine years later I rented a room, armed with a mobile office in a pink box (obviously), and opened my own private practice.
I spent eight years as a counsellor, and it remains some of the most humbling, magical and rewarding work I've ever done.
As my work grew, I began expanding into events, workshops and retreats in France, Devon and Santorini, followed by private and corporate coaching.
But the undercurrent has always been the same: to use what I have lived and learned to be of service to others.
The shape changes. The heart remains the same.
Alongside my professional work, I've spent years exploring and training in priestess and energetic practices, astrology and nature-based ways of working.
I wanted to create a home for the richness of everything I'd studied, practised, experienced and loved, without having to separate one part of myself or my work from another.
And so, I birthed Aurora.
I recently took the leap with The Chihuahuas and moved to my partner's farm in the Welsh mountains.
It's a wildly different way of life, immersed in nature and the changing seasons, which has brought another depth to my life and work.
And from this place, I'm continuing to create Aurora through writing, private journeys and wild immersions in the mountains.
